“…that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, and attaining to all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the knowledge of the mystery of God, both of the Father and of Christ.”  Col. 2.2

Certainly, God is not found out by human searching; by inquiring into a book of nature, or by the reasoning and logic of intellectuals..  It is written, “The world by wisdom knew not God.”   1 Cor. 1.21

The deeper things of God are searched only by the Spirit of God, and its revelation given by Him; that which the, “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” 1 Cor. 2.9    These mysteries are not found out by human searching but by the revelation of God, as it is written, “But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.” 1 Cor. 2.10

We cannot be satisfied with the reasoning of man’s philosophies or the shallow waters of religious practices, or the hype of motivational preachers.  But let us soberly, striving together, to press on, with all our hearts, that we might “know Him, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent”  (Jn. 17.3) and to apprehend “those things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”
